In view of the movement to build a railroad from Franklin via Newnan to Aberdeen, on the A., B. & A. road, which has been making such satisfac tory headway during the past few days, our people will be much interested in a rumor to the effect that the A., B. & A. road is making plans to build an ex tension from I’yriton, Ala., direct to Atlanta, thus furnishing quick connec tion between Atlanta and the western division of the A., B. & A. system. Fyriton is about midway between Tal ladega and Roanoke, and an air-line to Atlanta would miss Newnan eight or ten miles. Of course, railroad rumors are not generally reliable, but the ob vious necessity for a shorter line into Atlanta from some point on the Bir mingham division of the A., B. & A. system invests this rumor with an im portance that should be taken seriously. The theory of modern railroad con^ atruction is to save distance, and if thc- proposed extension were to follow n direct line from Fyriton to Atlanta it would probably cross the Chattahoo chee river above Roscoe and intersect the Brunswick division of the A., B. & A. system at a point near Union City. We call attention to this matter for the purpose of impressing upon our people the necessity of hurrying the canvass for subscriptions for the pro posed line from Franklin via Newnan to the A.. B. & A. road. The reasons for prompt and decisive action should be apparent to everyone interested in this enterprise. If the line is built before the A., B. & A. gets ready to build its extension, instead of building direct to Atlanta the A., B. Kr A. may find it expedient to build to Franklin and use the Newnan and Franklin road for its Atlanta connection from the West. The rumor to which we have referred appeared in a recent issue of the Bir mingham Ledger, and is as follows: Within the present year the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad will build a lino from Fyriton, Ala., direct through to Atlanta. a«d replace the route to Atlanta via Manchester with this. It will inaugurate, after the work is completed, a through passen ger service from Birmingham to At lanta, thus shortening the distance ma terially. It is known that l’resident Atkinson is endeavoring to get mon ey in Boston, to be secured by re ceivers’ certificates. This money will enable the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic to finish the work imperative in this State and Florida, after which the new extension will be started and rushed to completion. This connection will add materially to the importance of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlan tic, and will ennble the company to compete with the present trunk lines that center in Atlanta. The engineer of the Atlanta, Birmingham and At lantic have been surveying the route between Fyriton and Atlanti, and all that is now needed is the money with which to build the line, it is said that this can be quickly secured, and little doubt exists that the Atlanta, Birming ham and Atlantic will actually begin work within a few months. This will give Birmingham u new and direct con nection with Atlanta. In addition to freight business, passenger traffic will have a new and quick route to Atlanta and to Birmingham, whereas only two exist at this time. Patrons will be en abled to leave Birmingham late in the afternoon, with dining car service, sleep all night, and be ready to spend the entire day in Atlanta without any inconvenience. Tom Hudson as He is Known. A morions Times- Record or. "Tom Hudson is the most unselfish politician it has ever been my pleasure to know.” This is what a prominent Georgia politician has to say of Georgia’s genial Commissioner of Agriculture. And then lie continued: "Toni Hud son is one of the very few politicians in Georgia who are not ul.vavs looking to the main chance. He is not always weighing his own personal interests in the balance against everything he is asked to do. He is willing to do a fa vor evi n though there is to lie no re sulting benefit to himself. He stands true to his promises, even though he could advance his personal political fortunes liy ignoring them.” What, a compliment for a politician to enjoy ! A politician who is still unsel fish, who has not degenerated into a mere schemer and plotter, one who gives a kindly grasp of the hand with out thinking of »jte-getting, who does a good service to a neighbor without calculating closely where he will come in on it, one who is not always adjust ing the balances carefully to see that he gets full returns for every act, offi cial or otherwise, of Ids life. What a pity Georgia, and every other State, does not have a few more politi cians and officials who are willing to overlook their own interests at times in a desire to be of service to others, who are not always moved by the de sire to advance their own selfish aims, who are willing to even diminish their jUGcrI strength to aid a friend or lo a promise. Tilly is Tom Hudson, sure to his friends to appreciated as such. ^•e g get is Pittsburg, Pa., Has Race Problem. Pittsburg, Fa., Feb. 2.- -Eight white girls have_been assaulted within the past few weeks in the Hill district, oc cupied by negro residents. Police Cap tain .1. I). Murray, who is in charge of the district, said: "There is only one way to slop these numerous assaults. Let the decent colored people of the Hill district form a vigilance commit tee; let them assist in punishing the criminals of their own race, and the vi cious negroes of that district will either move or reform." Another prominent officer said they ought to he hung when caught. Bessie Sigel, aged 19, was the victim of an assault last night in front of St. Bridget’s Roman Catholic church. Within two hours Police Captain Mur ray and Policemun Dennis Duffy had picked up three suspects, and this morning Charles M. Cook, of Wylie avenue, was identified by the girl whom he assaulted. The second case was that of Kather ine Donahue, aged IT), who lives with her grandmother at No. 270 Thirty- ninth street. R. A. French, colored, of Snowden alley, was arrested, but as the girl ho is alleged to have assaulted was unable to appear against him he was held until Monday. In six pre- v’oas assault cases the police have ar rested the perpetrators in each stance. i The police to-night raided a negro quarter of the city and arrested more than two hundred negroes. In the last few weeks numerous attacks have been made upon young white women and girls. The action by thv police to night was taken in an effort to stop these attacks. Every negro who could not tell wherejie worked was arrested as a vargant. ’An effort will be made to send all of them to the work-house. The Brown Plan. Hnwkinsvillc Dispatch and Nows. The fact that "Little Joe” Brown is a different sort from the average poli tician is attracting attention. Mr. Brown is studying his constituency af ter the election to find out what the people want him to do. Generally speaking, the office-seeker studies his people before the election, to ascertain what he can promise them, and after the election they see nothing more of him until he becomes a candidate again. Tlie Brown plan is one that has much to commend it.—Savannah News. The News is correct. Mr. Brown is quite different from the average politi cian and office-seeker, because everv- ! thing he says and does is generally marked by good common sense and sound judgment. In going about anr having thes? heart to-hoart talks with the people he is simply carrying out the promises that he made when he be came a candidate for Governor, and af ter he has.found out what they want and need he will be in better position to serve them when he enters upon the discharge of his duties as the State’s Chief Executive. Florida Will Go For Prohibition. Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 2. The fea ture of to-day’s conference of the Anti- Saloon League supporters ot the South were reports by each official present on conditions in his State. Among those making reports was Su perintendent Collins, of Florida, who said there were hut sixteen wet towns in his State, and the majority of both Houses of the Legislature, which meets in April, are pledged to submit a Con stitutional amendment to the people providing for prohibition. He said this' would carry by 25,000. Superintendent West, of Kentucky, said his State probably would be the last to go for prohibition. Taft to Be Made a Mason at Sight. Cincinnati, Ohio.—The Grand Master of the Ohio Masons has tendered to William Howard Taft the rare and high honor of being made a Mason at sight. Judge Taft has accepted, and will re turn to Cincinnati Feb 18. when the Grand Master will convene a distin guished company of Masons and exer cise tiie high prerogative which belongs only to the Grand Master of Masons. This honor is so rarely conferred that there is but a single instance of it on record in a hundred years of history of Masonry in Ohio. Negro Life Insurance Company. Atlanta, Gn., Jan. 27.—The first ne gro insurance company on record was chartered to-day by Secretary of State Cook. It is known as the Standard Life Insurance Co., and has a capital of $390,000. The incorporators are all col ored citizens of Atlanta and Georgia except one, who is from Tuskegee In stitute II. A. Rucker. Collector of In ternal Revenue, is among the number. “Little Joe” Brown Kissed by Young Woman. Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 28.—Governor- elect Joseph M. Brown left over the Southern for Jesup, where he spoke to day. At the station, in the presence of a large crowd, he was kissed good-bve by Miss Mildred Thompson, one of the teachers here in the public schools. Miss Thompson was formerly a neigh bor of the Browns in Marietta. —The law that taxes a piece of prop erty and also the note for the purchase money is unjust. Under this law, if A buys a piece of property from B for $1,000 on a credit, giving B his note, from that time forward a tax must be paid on both the property and the note. A pays the tax on the property and B | pays the tax on the note. A does not own the place until he pays fur it. and until he does pay for it is only in con trol of it. That is a double tax the property that paid $5 ta.' es before the purchase by A now pays ?10. Mariet- | ta Journal. i —The hunting casualties during 1908 show a slight reduction over those of 1907. There were 160 hunters killed, and 126 injured. We find 368 deaths charged up to our sports and pastimes, while the number of injured was 3,820. It appears that 39 persons were killed on baseball fields and 58 seriously wounded, while 13 toothall players were killed and 29 injured. We cele brated the Fourth of July by killing 103 children and injuring 2,812. Rock ing the boat cost eight lives, and shoot ing "unloaded” pistols cost as many as 41. —Two neighbors in a Missouri village were arrested for fighting and brought into court. The Judge asked the as sailant to tell his story. "Jedge,” he said, “we war a-playin’ of seven-up, seven pints t’ th’ game, two bits on the corner. I had bin losin’ all day, Jedge, an’ I had up my last two bits. I dole the kyards. He war two an’ I war six. He begged an’ I gin him one. He fiang his queen an’ I played my tray fur low.
